We held a contest recently where parents and their kids ages 7-14 needed to record a video about why they love the Yankees and P.C. Richard & Son. The winner was randomly drawn from the submissions and received a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Yankees dugout and 4 tickets to the game. The lucky winner was former Little League Yankee, PSP 3000 lover, and 7 year old Enzo Cupani. Here was his video submission:

In his submission, this cute seven year old said that he wanted his first “real league” Yankees game to be “really special,” and I think that we achieved that for him. Enzo was escorted by a Yankees rep to witness the players, his heroes, coming in and out of the dugout before their game on June 11, 2010 against Houston. The Cupani family wrote in and sent pictures to tell us more about their experience:

The Yankee dugout visit was AMAZING! It was beyond any of our expectations. He got 6 players’ autographs: Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano, Ivan Nova, Chad Moeller, Francisco Cervulli AND Derek Jeter! You didn’t make his dreams come true, because he doesn’t even know how to dream of this. The Yankees gave him more dreams to have.

P.C. Richard was very generous to extend this once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Enzo responded in kind. He gave away five of his six signed baseballs: to his cousin, neighbor, two best friends, and his baby brother. Many little boys (and their dads) are very happy! His whole life, he will be known as “the guy who met the Yankees.” A wonderful legacy.

200 Thank Yous to the P.C. Richard family, and the historic number of wins Andy Pettitte –my boyfriend in my head– achieved at this game!

Most Sincerely,

Deb, Joe, Enzo & Angelo

We are incredibly happy to hear that Enzo had such an amazing time, and his mother’s letter and photos touched our hearts. We wanted to share them will all of you!
